The 1933 USA Indoor Track and Field Championships were organized by the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) and served as the national championships in indoor track and field for the United States.
The championships were held at Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York, taking place February 25.[1][2]
The women's meet was held at the same venue and date as a "preliminary" to the men's contests. It would be the only time that the men's and women's championships were held together until the 1965 edition. At the championships, Gene Venzke won the feature men's 1500 m. He ran shoulder-to-shoulder with Glenn Cunningham for the final two laps, and both fell across the finish line. About 15,000 spectators attended the men's meet.[3][4][5][6]
